| Title | Panoramic view of downtown Los Angeles showing Pershing Square, ca.1910 |
| Description |
Photograph of a panoramic view of downtown Los Angeles showing Pershing Square, ca.1910. The cityscape is thriving with multi-storied commercial and residential buildings. Prominent buildings or landmarks include the Pantages Theatre in the right foreground, Pershing Square at left center, Pacific Mutual Life and Accident building at left, Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, Philharmonic Auditorium Building at center, and the Metropolitan Building still under construction at right. Trees are sparsely scattered throughout the city with the exceptions being Pershing Square and the undeveloped land beyond the city near the hills, where there are larger clusters of trees. Pershing Square has an x-shaped walkway at the center of which is a circular fountain. Benches are situated along the walkways and around the fountain area. Small clusters of people crowd the park -- strolling through, sitting, reading newspapers, or loitering. There are a variety of trees and vegetation planted throughout the park. To the left of the park is Sixth Street, crowded with cars, streetcars, horse-drawn carriages and people. On Fifth Street, construction workers labor on building the Metropolitan Building. Construction material and/or debris litters the floor throughout the skeletal frame of the building. Many workers are lounging around, which may indicate that it is lunchtime.; CHS-5033 -- Legible signs include: "Go see Torrance, The modern [...]", "Made for California, La Abilidad, Havana cigars, [...]", "Hotel Portsmouth", "For business property, O.E.
